The next time someone mentions inflation to you, don’t forget to draw attention to the deeper structural driver of rising prices: the concentration of the American economy in the hands of a few corporate giants with the power to price-gouge because they face little competition.

"...The covid stimulus packages...helped create consumer demand that's carried the labor market through a storm of economic uncertainty." This is why a D economy is *always* better–a belief in proven Keynesian economics & investment in infrastructure & tech...not wasting $ on giveaways to the rich.
Professor Kyle @blackcatprose"For months, employers have churned out jobs at a rate that has baffled economists." Really? Not baffling to me. We have a shortage of workers due to lower birth rates; covid related death, disability, & leaving the workforce; & not enough immigration. And lots of folks have money to spend.10:07 AM - Jun 02, 2023

Damn. Locked out of my email, and now somehow locked out of the recovery email (for a month). I wish Google had a way to actually talk to someone. "Don't be evil" must have stopped being their motto ages ago.

Every year, we lose thousands of lives to gun violence in the United States. It is not rational to live with this reality and continue to do absolutely nothing. We must continue to push for solutions to gun violence. American lives depend on it.

The reason this tape is important is because it shows trump knew he couldn't declassify things with his mind (if the reporting on the audio is accurate).

Tim Heaphy, former U.S. attorney who led the House investigation into the January 6 attack, talks with Alex Wagner about how Donald Trump's targeting of anyone not loyal enough to support his Big Lie about his loss in the 2020 election may figure into special counsel Jack Smith's legal case.

Alex Wagner discusses the latest news about an audio recording of Donald Trump talking about a classified document and his own inability to declassify it, putting it on a timeline of events in the Mar-a-Lago documents case as well as the ever shifting excuses of Donald Trump's defense.

Excellent news. Elections - local and down ballot - have consequences.
Johnny GenX @JohnnyGenX‘Arizona Attorney General announced that drill permits for a Saudi Arabia-owned alfalfa farm have been revoked.’
This is the right move. Now we just need to take some Saudi planes and ram them into the Saudi farms.03:52 PM - Apr 23, 2023

GT InNC @GTinNCDoes anyone else remember the teen pregnancy epidemic of the 80s? Schools building daycare centers and skyrocketing welfare costs? It costs $310,000 to raise a child in the US. Republicans are forcing births and cutting SNAP benefits, but have NO PLAN to care for the kids.10:50 AM - Apr 23, 2023

The cost of Ukrainian bread. Sappers barely have time to demine populated areas and main communications routes after the russian occupation.
Oleksandr Kryvtsun, a farmer from the Kharkiv region village of Hrakove, had to build his own tractor to demine his fields.

Wow. Organizers are on the verge of getting a referendum protecting abortion rights on the ballot in Ohio.
But Republicans are so afraid it will pass that they're trying to raise the threshold for referendums passing to a 60% supermajority of voters.

I'm a grown ass man. Having a PC that lights up looks like I'm trying too hard. Like I just got divorced and need a convertible to mask the Viagra.

As you listen to this, think about Ralph Yarl. Think about the Tennessee Two. Think about the GOP attacks on DA Alvin Bragg.
The pattern is obvious.
From local Oklahoma government, state Tennessee government, to Congress, it's on all of us to end anti-Black racism and racism in all forms.

Imagine having all the money Elon has, and at 51 years old, still trying to convince the kids who were popular and unfriendly to you in high school that you're actually really cool, too. Like, there isn't a therapist in the world capable of navigating that level of self loathing.
